Your Guide to Anything and Everything Boston

I've got my fingers crossed that it doesn't rain on July 4th. I won't be here this year, I'm going to head up to my buddy's lake house in NH - but July 4th in Boston is definitely way up there on my list of favorite things about Boston.

Due to constrained budgets and what not this year, a lot of cities have had to cancel/rework their usual Independence Day festivities. There's a state site that has compiled all the info for what I'm guessing are most of the cities in the state so you can double check what's going on in your town.

My recommendation (as usual) - befriend someone with a roofdeck that lives on Beacon Street. They have the BEST unobstructed view of the Charles River & fireworks show that I've ever seen. If you know of a better spot (and you're willing to share) leave a comment. I'm sure we'd all love to check it out.
